What Is Cheque Writing Format?

Cheque writing format is the set of national rules for where the date goes, how amounts appear in the box and on the legal line, and which currency words to use. UK cheques favour day-month-year and pounds; Singapore uses dollars with similar word fractions; UAE cheques use dirhams in English words. Ignoring cheque writing format is a leading cause of returned cheques. This tool and guide align your fields with each country so your payment clears the first time.

Clearing houses and bank rulebooks define acceptable cheque layouts per country.
